A couple of things occured to me;

How will away supporters react to this?

How many Season Tickets have been sold?

Just trying to get a handle on how many people will need to purchase a ticket on the day from the ticket office?

Lets say we've sold 250 season tickets (?) that would mean 750 people wanting a ticket for a crowd of 1000. But what if the crowds (as the Club would surely like) rose above that?

As has been said earlier in the thread, there is a distinct possibility that the vast majority will arrive in the final 30 minutes before kick-off especially a fair chunk of the away support I would suspect.

My earlier analogy references a crowd of 1000 but surely there will be a number of games next season where that number is exceeded (the visits of Halifax and Widnes would seem obvious ones and possibly Featherstone and Sheffield if they are having decent seasons).

I suppose we'll get a flavour of it on Sunday (weather permitting).

This sounds like a recipe for disaster. The last time we did this it was a total joke!! Its alright saying get there earlier but i pefer to have a couple of beverages elsewhere before i pay a visit to the SJE bar. Its also difficult if you are trying to encourage friends to come along, i can get my ticket before game day as i know i am going but they then need to queue for god knows how long. What a great way to try to get more fans down, especially when they see theres only approx 1000 watching!!!!

I suppose we will just have to wait and see.

Only one bus provided in the agreement. How the route was decided I don't know.

We must be the poor relations.. icon_lol.gif

Sure it's only a test to start with and if it works, they might expand the service?

Quote: DRAGONFAN "The majority of fans will turn up with less than half an hour to kick-off----always have and always will.
All i'm saying is that if there's a large queue at the ticket office that put even one supporter off then it's a bad decision.

It will only take the new match day bus that's scheduled to arrive at 2

Is it a ploy to get more people to buy season tickets.. eusa_think.gif

Or is it the Stadium Management taking over and Bo**oxing thing up .. icon_wink.gif

Say what you mean and mean what you say because those who matter don't mind and those who mind don't matter.:



Will the Fev fans be aware as they will not be a happy bunch if they miss the ko.

Yes, I have this unfortunate vision of groups of disgruntled away supporters trooping back from the turnstiles towards the ticket office.

Just got mine, and having read this thread asked if they would be asking for peoples details on Sunday - like Jemmo they had mine and it took about a minute. The lady serving me asked somebody else, and they said they would be asking for details on Sunday. She said that the Dons had asked about putting a supporters database together from ticket sales (as they had done for the Rovers).

If correct this would be chaotic.

If it took you and Jemmo 1 minute each to purchase a ticket---

So

700 tickets at a minimum of 1min per/ticket[size11 Hours 40mins[/size

Even if there were six ticket outlets--it would take [size1Hr 56 mins each[/size

and thats assuming the stadium already has the details of all of those 700 fans

Wouldn't want to be at the back of that queue icon_lol.gif

I'm sure/hope it won't take that long--but on 1minute per/ticket it most certainly will.
